In all of the private lots and Bills lots and grass lots combined there are more than 73k Yet only 73,000 make it into the stadium.. there are thousands plus who never leave the tailgate I've never seen anyone stay behind in the lot at game time that wasn't passed out face down 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerme1 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 It's all planted BS. Look for a 40% State 20% County 20% League 20% Pegulas breakdown. Are we done now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a football stadium for football games and the suburbs (OP) has the land , space , it's not hard to get too Putting it downtown is the hip thing .. it's trendy , but there's no economic benefit.. studies have shown that.. it would basically kill the best tailgating tradition in the NFL Buffalo has always been known for a more college like atmosphere.... Like an SEC atmosphere... The fans are knowledgeable, supportive, and hardcore.. The parties at the rock pile were legendary.. full on keg's in the stands ... So the shenanigans are way pre Ralph Wilson stadium... And the best tailgates in the world will be lost if we go downtown... There's a lot of people who want to preserve that And there's a difference between full-on drunken debauchery... And a legitimate top notch Buffalo tailgate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of people that tailgate and dont go to the game(I have done it before) but I am with that seems like a really high estimate.

And a legitimate top notch Buffalo tailgate Putting the tailgating aside for a second can Buffalo even handle the traffic of a Bills game. I live in NJ so I am not familiar with the landscape of Buffalo/Orchard Park. OP obviously can handle it but can Buffalo? Losing the tailgating would be terrible as Buffalo is known for having a great tailgating atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing the tailgating would be terrible as Buffalo is known for having a great tailgating atmosphere. Depending on where they put it downtown, it seems (from passive observation coming downtown for high level business meetings, i dont live there any more)like they could bulldoze some eyesores and create some dedicated tailgating parking lots. There might not be enough room to recreate the entire OP atmosphere, but like i said earlier, if the stadium was downtown, and people in North Buffalo/Town of Tonawanda could take the subway down, there would be a lot fewer people doing tailgating anyways. Or, they would be doing it in the UB North lot then drunkenly taking the subway to the game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It clearly was not "ownership" of the Buffalo Bills or Buffalo Sabres. The people and media that spread this BS should be embarrassed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
